Owner Of Industry: Elias Gastis!
Brief: The Simple Machine I Am Attempting To Build Will

Basically Be An Improved Version Of "DA SEESAW!".

It Will Basically Be A Seesaw With 2 Wooden Planks On Top Leaving

A Little Bit Of Space In The Middle For A Marble To Roll Down Once I

Apply The Weight, An Inclined-Plane. The Marble Will Roll Down The

Seesaw, Roll Onto The Inclined-Plane And Into A Tube And Out The Other

Side Into Someones Hands.

Materials Needed:

* Lever

* Fulcrum

* 2 Planks Of Wood

* 1 Tube

* 1 Marble

Step Guide:

Step 1: Place Lever On Fulcrum On Flat Ground.

Step 2: Apply 2 Wooden Planks On Top Of Lever, (Leaving 2-3cm Space In Middle).

Step 3: Place Tube At End The Seesaw.

Step 4: Hold Marble At Front Of Seesaw.

Step 5: Apply Inclined-Plane (Weight) On End Of Seesaw.

Step 6: Watch The Marble Roll Down The Seesaw Over The Inclined Plane

Into The Tube And Into Someones Hands.

Energies Acting On Model:

The Marble Will Have Potential Energy Before I drop It Onto The Seesaw.

And Turn Into Friction Energy As It Rolls Down The Seesaw. And Then The

Friction Energy Transfers Into The Inclined-Plane And Transforms Into

Motion As It Travels In The Air And Into The Tube. Then Back To Friction As

It Goes Into The Tube And Into Someones Hands.
